"Emily's Wings" - ballet suite
by Nicholas Wing, composer/author
Synopsis -
The year is 1902, the city is covered in a soft blanket of snow and a very special baby is about to be born. But something is very wrong and the mother and her baby are in distress. The baby isn't breathing and they rush to take a carriage to the hospital. As the carriage races through the snowfall, Emily's mother says a prayer and draws her final breath. Suddenly, the baby takes her first breath, as the snow falls into the still racing carriage.
Years later, Emily is now a young woman, and is helping to support her father who works building the skyscrapers of the city. As she was growing up, her father told her that her mother often dreamed of flying and that she was Emily's guardian angel. Emily loved hearing stories about her mother and grew up with her own imaginary wings. One day while her father is working on a skyscraper, Emily discovers that her imaginary wings were not imaginary at all. Emily's wings are real, and she's going to need them for this adventure.
Emily discovers that her wings are the most brilliant when she writes in her journal, and so she begins writing stories and sending them to the city's major newspaper. Soon Emily is
moonlighting as a writer and covering with her wings stories of sorrow and of hope for the city.
When Emily cries, the city sobs with her, when she mourns, the city stands still and when she laughs, her readers spirits are renewed. Above all, she writes stories which will give her readers hope for the future. Emily knows that, like her very breath, her wings are a gift from her loving mother that is to be shared with the world, and she will use these gifts to defeat a 'wicked widow', save her father and perhaps even the city itself.

"Job's Prayer" - A One Act Ballet
By Nicholas Wing, Composer/Author
A solitary principal male dancer is seated center stage. As the introductory chords play, he rises and seems to awaken and blossom from a closed seated position. When the melody enters against the arpeggio he begins his dance; his expression is noble, confident and strong. Soon silhouette figures appear from the wings and they surround Job. He initially overcomes the figures, but is surrounded again and is utterly overwhelmed. The dancers gesture stabbing and other movements representing an onslaught and Job eventually succumbs and is downtrodden from grief, fear and exhaustion. To seal his defeat, he is blindfolded by one of the dark figures. Now lying on the floor and blinded, his three friends enter and surround him; he reaches for them, but they turn away one by one. In his despair he returns to his original closed pose. Slowly, he raises his weary arms into the air as if calling out to the Lord for help. The spotlight shines upon Job, he regains his sight as he looks toward the light and he rises slowly and deliberately to a restored disposition of valor. The dark figures again emerge, and beaming under a brilliant fluorescence Job defeats them by expanding its circumference and the dark figures now recoil before the light.
His life is renewed and the darkness is defeated forever.
